Google Form Exit Tickets
Grades K-12
Big Idea
Exit tickets are a formative assessment tool that give teachers a way to assess how well students understand the material they are learning in class. A good exit ticket can tell whether students have a superficial or in-depth understanding of the material. Technology offers an easy way to work with exit tickets. Google Forms is one such tool in which responses are collected immediately and the results can be easily examined. Once the Google Form exit ticket is created, it can be shared in Google Classroom for students to access the form. The Google Form data goes into a Google Sheet spreadsheet, which you can access in Google Drive. Teachers might want to have the spreadsheet open as students submit the Form to see the answers come in live and give immediate feedback to the students if needed.

This tool can be used daily or weekly, depending on the unit being taught. Teachers can use exit tickets to get a quick gauge of the status of the class. They should only take a few minutes for students to complete. Exit tickets should not be graded but used as a reflection of what the students understood about that lesson or content.
Strategy Variations
Grading rubric : Create your rubric in a Google Form to make an easy place for you to assign grades and provide feedback to students. Answer with an image: you can ask questions AND provide answers with images! Teachers can cue students verbally and they can answer by choosing the correct picture. Quick grade log — To quickly mark a grade for simple assignments, create a Google Form with every student’s name. Autograded quizzes — If you create a quiz or other assessment with closed-ended questions, Google Forms will autograde it for you. Create your quiz and click the gear (settings) button. Choose the “Quizzes” tab and turn on “Make this a quiz”. You have some options in that window. Then, go through your questions and select the correct answer (your answer key).
